The statement 'interactions of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids help to anchor the protein in the membrane' explains why protein folding is critical. This process is fundamental for the function of transmembrane proteins.

Protein folding refers to the process by which a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) adopts its final tridimensional 3D shape (conformation).

In a protein, some amino acids contain hydrophilic R groups, whereas other amino acids contain hydrophobic R groups.

During protein folding, hydrophobic amino acids are arranged so they can interact with the long chains of the fatty acids in the internal region of the lipid bilayer, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are arranged so they interact with water on the surface of the cell membrane.

Triggering of the muscle action potential occurs after
vekshin1

Triggering of the muscle action potential occurs after Ach binds to chemically gated channels in the motor end plate membrane. Acetylcholine (Ach) is a neurotransmitter produced by nerve cells.

An action potential is an electrical signal that travels along the cell membrane as a wave.

This action potential (muscle action potential) drives the contraction of muscle fibers.

When the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction (i.e., the motor end-plate), acetylcholine (Ach) is released into the synaptic cleft.

Subsequently, Ach can bind and open specific channels localized on the surface of the muscle cells, thereby depolarizing them and triggering muscle contraction.

The picture below shows a water molecule.
grandymaker [24]
A water molecule is an example of a compound.

It is NOT a mixture because it is not a combination of 2 or more substances.

It is NOT an element because water is composed of two different elements, those being 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

It is NOT an atom because water is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

It IS a compound because it is composed of two different elements.
